Reporter comment USDA

As filed

Compared to last week: Most classes did not have enough comparable trades. A low undertone was noted, with a plain quality and moderate demand. Slaughter cows remained steady. Morning rainfall in the area made for a break in temperatures, which seemed to help cow receipts later in the day.

Steers 500–600 lb: high $488.56, low $381.42, median $452.38 across 34 sales. Sales under 10 head in this class are excluded, so a thin day cannot swing the median or the ranking.
